Dementia and walking study using simple movement tests
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how memory problems and walking/mobility are connected. It may help researchers understand better ways to assess dementia risk and mobility changes early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how your walking (gait) might help predict future dementia and risk of falls. You may be asked to walk tests and have health information collected to see who is at higher risk.
This study tests two types of training—cognitive (brain) and movement exercises—for people with mild-to-moderate dementia. The goal is to see if these activities together can help improve thinking, memory, and physical function.
This study looks at how older adults with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease adapt their walking. It aims to understand walking and balance to help people stay mobile and safe longer.
This study compares treadmill walking to walking while doing a second task (like talking or carrying something) in people with Alzheimer's disease. It aims to see which training method improves mobility and safety better.
This study looks at how walking patterns (gait) differ in people with various types of dementia. It may help doctors better understand and diagnose dementia by analyzing how you walk.
This trial tests a simple exercise program to help older adults with dementia improve their walking and mood. It's designed for people who can move around on their own and are in generally good physical health.
